Maximize Your Wedding Day Glow With These Tips

Glowing wedding day skin is on every bride’s wish list, and it’s absolutely attainable with proper planning and guidance.  Our team of highly experienced anti-aging experts at Triangle Facial Plastic Surgery in Raleigh is here to share some tips to boost and maximize your glow so you can feel your very best on your special day!  

  • If you haven’t already established a consistent daily skincare routine, NOW is the time!  Your daily skincare routine should include: 
    • Gentle cleanser in the morning, evening and after exercise.  
    • Moisturizer application to keep your skin hydrated and smooth.  
    • Vitamin C + retinol products for anti-aging.  Vitamin C brightens the skin, evens skin tone and protects the skin from environmental stressors that can come during the day.  Retinol (aka Vitamin A) firms and tightens the skin.  Both products can be used together, but they should not be applied at the same time – apply Vitamin C in the morning and Retinol in the evening.  
    • Sunscreen application to your face and neck (YES, even if it’s cloudy out) and reapply after prolonged periods out in the sun. 
  • Exfoliate with a gentle exfoliation product 1-3 times each week (depending on your skin type).  ZO SKIN HEALTH® Exfoliating Polish is an amazing, gentle polish that delivers an insta-glow and amazingly smooth skin!   
  • Consider additional skincare products to address specific concerns, such as acne, redness, spots and pigmentation. The best way to determine the best products to improve your skin condition is to consult with a licensed medical esthetician.
  • Hydrate from within! You should consume plenty of water each day.  A good rule of thumb is to drink 0.5-1.0 ounces of water for each pound you weigh.  
  • Schedule monthly facials to refresh and hydrate your skin, unclog pores, and improve the appearance of specific skin concerns.  HydraFacial gives you glowing, firm and more youthful looking skin in just 30 minutes!  And there are a variety of booster options to address your specific concerns, whether it be hyperpigmentation, acne, redness, wrinkles, etc.  
  • Erase forehead wrinkles, glabellar lines (aka the dreaded 11’s) and crows feet around the eyes with a neurotoxin treatment 1-2 months before the big day.  
  • If you’re looking to soften & contour your facial profile, and add volume to the areas including the cheeks, chin, jawline and lips, you may consider non-surgical filler treatments. Filler treatments should be done several months in advance to ensure satisfactory results.  Definitely plan ahead!  
  • If you are looking for more dramatic results to improve the appearance of aging and problematic skin vs. skincare products and facials alone, you may consider laser and IPL (intense pulse light) treatments.  They are more intensive treatments, and when combined, they are even MORE powerful!  These treatments should also be scheduled several months in advance to make time for multiple treatments if needed to achieve the desired results.    
    • CoolPeel CO2 laser treatments deliver a total skin rejuvenation with little downtime.  CoolPeel treatments dramatically reduce fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, minimize pore size and improve dullness and skin texture in 1-3 appointments (typically scheduled a month apart). 
    • BBL Hero treatments penetrate into the deeper layers of skin and deliver remarkably clear and refreshed skin.  BBL Hero is great for addressing hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, acne, inflammation and redness. It also helps to remove unwanted dark colored hair.

Do you want to learn more about specific products and treatments that are right for YOUR skin and your goals? Let’s talk!  Contact us to schedule your complimentary skincare consultation with Yelena, our licensed medical esthetician, and she will assess your skin, discuss your goals and timeline to create a customized treatment plan for you!

Droopy Nose Q&A w/Dr. Becker

“Droopy nose” (aka nasal tip ptosis) occurs when the tip of the nose hooks downward or is elongated, rather than pointing forward and elevated. Dr. Adam Becker, award-winning facial plastic surgeon and rhinoplasty expert in Raleigh, NC, often treats patients with droopy nose to correct a droopy nasal tip and yield a beautiful, balanced nasal profile. Dr. Becker is here to answer the most commonly asked questions about a droopy nose.

Q: Why does the nose start to droop with age? Is it just the tip or the entire nose?

A: The nasal tip can often begin to droop starting around 30-40 years of age. This happens because the cartilages that form the tip of the nose are held in place by ligamentous structures. These ligaments, as well as the soft tissue components, begin to relax and this can cause the tip to begin to rotate downward.

Q: Is a droopy nose more common in men? Women? Both?

A: There is very little literature regarding gender differences in age related tip drooping. One group of researchers did not see a difference between men and women.

Q: Will a previous rhinoplasty do anything to limit the amount of drooping?

A: Possibly. Not all rhinoplasty surgeons use the same techniques, but when the surgeon uses techniques that strengthen the tip support, then there is potential to resist age related drooping.

Q: What do you suggest for those people who are genetically inclined to experience drooping? Is there anything they can do from a proactive viewpoint to limit the drooping?

A: Outside of living a healthy lifestyle, there are no known strategies to limit tip drooping. It’s just part of the aging process.

Q: What are some of the reasons for the droopiness?

A: Aside from age related tip drooping, some other causes of a droopy nasal tip include trauma, which can damage the supporting ligaments or the cartilages of the nasal tip. Some individuals also have a droopy nasal tip due to their inherent nasal shape.

Q: What are the best solutions for lifting a droopy tip? What if someone doesn’t want to go through with surgery?

A: Surgery is most often the only solution for a droopy nasal tip. In certain patients, dermal fillers can be used to give the appearance of a more elevated tip. This should be done by an experienced injector as filler injections into the nose carry some risk of damage to the skin due to the unique anatomy of the nose compared to other areas of the face.

If you’re concerned with a droopy nose and want to learn more about your options to improve your nasal profile, contact us to schedule a consultation with Dr. Becker and he will provide you with a full assessment and recommended treatment plan for you.
